Sri Krishna Gana Sabha: ‘Sri Krishna Vaibhavam,’ displayed the fine balance of aangikam, vaachikam, aahaaryam and saathvikam.
Staged at Sri Krishna Gana Sabha, the dance drama, ‘Sri Krishna Vaibhavam,’ the silver jubilee mega production (11 one) of Sridevi Nrityalaya, was well-illustrated with a content-rich repertoire. Nearly 80 dancers brought alive various episodes from the life of Lord Krishna with a fine balance of aangikam, vaachikam, aahaaryam and saathvikam. The Lord who grew up amidst cow herds was shown as a lovable and mischievous child, a lover, a servant, a teacher and a friend.
Eight dancers, narrators, describing Krishna’s magnanimous nature proved to be an absorbing start. They went on to describe how he had captured the heart of Radha and Meera, dispelled fear from the heart of his devotees and had all the time been the quintessence of love and affection.
